<johnc4510> each event that is all day type should only be listed once

<johnc4510> with a link to the agenda

<johnc4510> k

<akgraner> nhandler, I just now learning what all LD is and is not for - but was told by mhall that the events calendar was not for LoCo Team meetings so I guess I need to understand what is for

<nhandler> akgraner: I guess that depends on what "meeting" means

<nhandler> akgraner: For instance, I consider a release party a type of LoCo meeting

<akgraner> team meetings

<akgraner> like this

<tyche> One thing you will HAVE to do (based on my own experience) is convince people that they NEED to include a location and agenda.

<nhandler> akgraner: You mean *IRC* team meetings

<akgraner> nhandler, yes

<akgraner>

<johnc4510> nods

<nhandler> akgraner: I don't think we need to include that stuff. The IRC meetings will usually only matter to the people in that LoCo

<akgraner> hehe - I gotta get y'all a crystalball to read my mind

<nhandler> They usually have their own calendars for that

<akgraner> nhandler, with the move to cross-collaborate

<cjohnston> I still want to make a LD that is only for IRC meetings.. in which you can rsvp

<tyche> If you look through the last few UWN's, you'll see a lot of "not listed as of publication" in those slots.

<akgraner> and invite projects to talk to loco teams and stuff there is no easy way to see when teams are doing what

<nhandler> tyche: I know when I've helped people add events, I link them to the wiki page and make sure they include that info

<tyche> I know. But there's still a lot of them who just haven't bothered to read how to do it, and don't ask for help.

<akgraner> other loco teams are also curious as to how x team or another conducts their meetings

<akgraner> and with searching their wiki pages etc still no easy way to located that information - but that amy be just me

<tyche> I know that, at one time, it was all filtered through one poor person (me) to add the information, and I used to go crazy tracking down people to get information.

<johnc4510> nods

<nhandler> akgraner: I don't know, I still find that if I want to know when a certain team has there next meeting, it is easier to go to the wiki. I like a calendar to know what events are going on today

<johnc4510> nods

<johnc4510> i just drop into their channel and ask when the next meeting is

<akgraner> one central calendar also paints a create picture in one stop to gage the activity of the LoCo Teams as a whole

<akgraner> I guess I am looking both locally and globally

<nhandler> I guess the question is, would the community want this?

<nhandler> Maybe send an email to loco-contacts to find out

<akgraner> we can do that

<akgraner> I was just asking the question

<akgraner> and I also see no harm in trying and if it's not received well then you take it down

<akgraner> no harm

<pleia2> fwiw, changing the "It is used for #ubuntu-meeting." on our /calendar page might help a bit if we want to keep it as a general meetings calendar (everyone is confused about whether it should really be -meeting only or not, since it SAYS its only for -meeting but people tell them otherwise, and some don't bother with location...)

<johnc4510> nods

<nhandler> akgraner: It would be a pain to setup, as you would need to hunt down each loco to add their meetings

<akgraner> why can't the contacts add themselves?

<cjohnston> I think if we are going to do a LoCo meeting calendar, it needs to be seperate than the fridge calendar... otherwise its gonna be so overrun, you wont be able to read it

<akgraner> I'll send an email

<johnc4510> well, it's not strickly -meeting...for instance if it an event, like bug day, it might not be in -meeting

<nhandler> akgraner: They can, but it will take time for them to do it

<akgraner> cjohnston, yes - no one is disagreeing

johnc4510 agrees with cjohnston

<pleia2> johnc4510: right, but that's not what it says on the page, look at the text on fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar

<pleia2> johnc4510: that's my point

<johnc4510> pleia2: oh, i agree

<akgraner> that was never an issue - the questions was can we have a separate link to a LoCo Calendar

<nhandler> akgraner: links are easy enough to add

<akgraner> that's all

<johnc4510> i say yes....then if they don't use it we can scrap it, or if they do...great

<tyche> The flip side of that is what do you include in the UWN.

<akgraner> and how the Calendar is populated we can work out

<akgraner> tyche, we aren't there yet - still blueprint for UDS

<akgraner>

<johnc4510> yeah we can make that decission later...

<tyche> Right now, Teams are adding their LoCo meetings to the calendar in order to have them published in the UWN.

publishing UWN for May 9 (this Sunday) and May 16th (next Sunday)

<akgraner> so UWN is normally published on Sunday's - I'll be traveling both the 8th and the 15th - and Should providing there are no travel issues or wifi problems be able to publish from Brussels on Sunday

<akgraner> and the same goes for the return trip the following weekend as I get back home on the night of he 15th

<johnc4510> have a sprout for me

<johnc4510>

<akgraner> I should have almost all the content ready (at least links) for this issue late tomorrow

<tyche> >>BAD PUN<<

<johnc4510>

<johnc4510> akgraner: np...we'll get it done

<akgraner> in the event I am unable to help get it out the door - who besides out regular crew can be on stand by to lend a hand should johnc4510 need it?

<akgraner> basically summarizing some articles

<tyche> I will be here on the 9th

<akgraner> cjohnston, will pull the stats on Sunday before he leaves so that is covered

<akgraner> tyche, thanks

<johnc4510> this wks. issue will be full again i think...the second one will taper off some

<cjohnston> and on the google docs page incase someone messes with it

<akgraner> Pen said she would copy my google doc and do some stuff off line as well

<akgraner> johnc4510, tyche scott_ev will you be available as well this weekend?

<johnc4510> akgraner: you need to give me the link to the google docs page just in case please
